Enjoy the Florida Water ParksAdventureIsland - TampaAdventureIsland at Tampa is close by to BuschGardens and is packed with excitement and adventure. It offers around 34 30 acres of water rides and other attractions. There are picnic and sunbathing areas, along with outdoor cafes, snack bars and gift shops.For people who love thrills, the Wahoo Run plunges up to five riders at a time, more than 15 feet per second as this half-enclosed tunnel twists and turns more than 600 feet to a waiting splash pool below. Wahoo Run has been called the "fastest tunnel river raft in the world," Here, you will corkscrew through spins and spirals propelled by more than 10,000 gallons of water.The Tampa Typhoon will also have you screaming as you "free-fall" seven stories down a 76 foot water slide on one of the most heart-pumping rides in the park.Other thrill rides include the Splash Attack, Caribbean Corkscrew, Runaway Rapids, Aruba Tuba and the Gulf Scream, a huge 210-foot body slide that whisks you into the waiting pool below at 25 mph.Also try Paradise Lagoon.

You must be a strong swimmer and at least 48" tall to take on The Eye of the Storm.The park also features a half-million gallon wave pool.The ShipwreckIslandPlayVillage, designed with children in mind, contains waterfalls, multiple small slides and water cannons that will keep children entertained for hours.Be prepared to enjoy non-stop action on Adventure Landing's dry side.Start your adventure with the Adventure Speedway Go-Karts, where a twisting quarter mile go-kart track with live racing has results posted on a finish-line leader board. The park advertises that "it is as close to NASCAR racing as you get."For those looking for something a little calmer, Adventure Golf has two unique 18-hole miniature golf courses designed for fun and relaxation in mind. The two courses challenge all skill levels as they wind through tunnels, over waterfalls and "mountains."The multi-level Arcade has over 100 interactive games, and kids especially love Laser Tag, an indoor battle arena with "out of this world" lighting and sound.For a thrill of a lifetime, the MaxFlight Coast Simulator takes guests on an adventure into the world of virtual reality.

Parliamentary sketchwriter Simon Hoggart has met every British prime minister since Harold Macmillan. And each has, without fail, proved to have their own idiosyncratic foibles, as he recalls in these extracts from his new book, A Long LunchIt is certainly not fashionable to say this now, but I have always had an affection for most politicians. As sketchwriters, we are verbal caricaturists. Nicholas Garland, the brilliant cartoonist for the Daily Telegraph, once described to me how his profession worked. A new person swims into the public gaze. They may have an apparently quite ordinary face, like John Major or Tony Blair. The cartoonist then finds something, anything, about their appearance that is even slightly off-normal.Various cartoonists fastened on to Major's upper lip, on which a sort of phantom moustache seemed to hover. My colleague Steve Bell spotted that Blair had, like Margaret Thatcher, one mad staring eye. (I claim credit for noticing that this was sometimes the right, sometimes the left, as if the daemon within took its pick each morning.) By the end of Blair's period in office, Bell was able to draw the eye inside an electricity pylon, as the viewing hole in a prison door, or as an untethered balloon floating away into the sky, and achieve instant recognition.In the same way, we sketchwriters develop our own shorthand for the people we write about, exaggerating language, absorbing verbal tics, fastening on to some minor eccentricity and pumping it as hard as we can. One way or another, I have met every British prime minister since Macmillan. They are often rather odd, and it seems to be, in some way, a condition of getting the top job. The party leaders who were most like real human beings Neil Kinnock and William Hague, for instance never quite made it. I think the electorate wants their leader to be different, slightly set apart, a little bit weird.Margaret ThatcherBeing Margaret Thatcher was a very demanding, 24-hour-a-day job. Like many people held in the grip of their own convictions, Thatcher had trouble understanding the thoughts and words of others. She was, and no doubt is, a kindly woman. Staff were always pleased when she remembered their birthdays, even more when she remembered their children's birthdays. She could be tolerant of other people's way of living, even when she did not understand or sympathise with it. However, if she had a sense of humour, it was well hidden.There are many stories about this. When the Liberals adopted a sort of stylised yellow bird as their logo, one of her speechwriters produced a passage based on Monty Python's parrot sketch "this parrot is no more, it has shuffled off this mortal coil and gone to join the choir invisible . . ." She had to be persuaded that the lines were funny, and would be recognised by the audience. She had one other concern: "This Monty Python, is he one of us?" (Interestingly, Cameron referred to the same sketch in his party conference speech this week, confident that everyone would get the joke.)Earlier, Peter Jay, the son-in-law of the then prime minister Jim Callaghan, had said that Callaghan saw himself as Moses, leading his people after long travails into the promised land. It was a silly thing to say, and Thatcher's people seized on it. They wrote a line for her party conference speech: "My message to Moses is: 'Keep taking the tablets.'" But she didn't get the joke and tried to change it to "Keep taking the pills." Only after it was carefully explained to her did she agree to the proper version.She was nonetheless the source of much unwitting humour. Just as, in an early silent movie, when you see a man up a ladder with a pot of paint, you know with near certainty that the star is going to walk under the ladder at exactly the wrong moment, so with Thatcher. When a double entendre appeared in the offing, you felt she was certain to utter it.I recall Thatcher being asked in the Commons about pacifists handing out leaflets outside an army barracks. "I'm sure soldiers will know exactly what they can do with those leaflets!" she said, to outright laughter from the Labour side and surreptitious giggles from the Tories.At a training centre in Putney, she was introduced to an extremely large youth who was working with a giant wrench. "Goodness," she said, "I've never seen a tool as big as that!"But Thatcher saved the best of all for her victory tour of the Falkland Islands. She was taken to inspect a large field gun, basically a ride-on lawnmower with a barrel several feet long. It was on a bluff, overlooking a plain on which another Argentine invasion might one day materialise. She admired the weapon, and the soldier manning it asked if she would like to fire a round."But mightn't it jerk me off?" she replied. Chris Moncrieff of the Press Association, who was covering the visit, recorded the manful struggle of the soldier to keep his face, indeed his whole body, straight.If Gladstone addressed Queen Victoria as if...
